Catalyst is an online solution offered by Alliance Care Technologies that administers a condition/symptom specific questionnaire to the patient prior to the appointment. Information collected includes demographic data, medical history, review of body systems, health status, and history of current illness. Patented work-up algorithms provide physicians with a differential diagnosis as clinical support before the patient comes to the office. Information collected is integrated into the patient’s record ready for coding and billing. Catalyst offers over 800 condition questionnaires that are adaptable to each patient's age and gender. Physicians preview the clinical information provided by the patient which is converted into easy-to-review prose prior to the visit. The patient input can be integrated into the EMR. Physicians can focus in on the patient’s ailments and reduce the time to diagnosis and treatment.

Enabling the patient to enter the data necessary to populate the subjective portion of the medical record makes the physician’s time spent in the encounter more efficient, enhances communication, and makes the patient's time spent at the office more efficient. Both the patient and the doctor are focused on the health concerns presented at the start of the encounter.

Catalyst was created 20 years ago, through the clinical expertise and vision of our Chief Medical Officers Dr. Jim Blasingame and Dr. Bill Mohlenbrock. They have brought their vast clinical experience in orthopedics and passion for clinical excellence to create patient centric care that fosters patient-physician collaboration.
